I am using the formula you described. I have a cover sheet with no page
number, then I have about 9 pages of front matter which has several sections
in that and uses page i , page ii, page iii, etc., and then I start my page
numbering on page 1 and use the formula to subtract the number of pages in
the front matter from the total number of pages in the document. Sometimes I
need to adjust that number according to the length of the TOC and TOF I have.
I'm not sure I understand which section to set as continuous and not sure
how to do that. Since the main document has a different footer, it isn't Same
as Previous, but I've used Same as Previous in all the following sections.
I really appreciate both of your help as I created a template so other
people are trying to deal with this problem and I would like to fix it for
them.
My front matter

I understand now... you were using 'think-speak'! I believe Pamelia has hit
the answer. If you are using a different front page and have reset the next
section to start at Page 1, then the reset is being propagated all the way.
Instead, set the page number field to { = { PAGE } - x } where x equals the
number of pages in the front matter. If you need to automate this, you can
add the SECTIONPAGES field to the first (un-numbered) section, bookmark it
and then subtract the Bookmark result.

Sorry - guess I thought everyone could read my mind.
I want each section to continue numbering not start at 1 at the beginning
of
each section.
My document uses the {PAGE} field but when I add a section break, new
page,
it starts over at 1.
Hope that makes sense.

I'm not sure what you want because what you wrote is a little ambiguous.
But
if you want to start each section with page 1, instead of inserting the {
PAGE } field, use the { SECTIONPAGES } field. The { PAGE } field will be
continuous by default .

Is there an easy way to default to continue numbering when i add a new
section? Since that is the option that I would use most, I would prefer
that
to starting at page 1 on each new section and then I have to re-format
the
number to continue from previous.
